1. PurposeFollowing are the two purposes of this document

1. To describe the general configuration steps required to manually set up the prerequisite configuration within the system landscape to run SAP S/4HANA Analytics

2. For each analytical app within SAP S/4HANA, this guide provide the additional configurations steps to run specific analytic applications. The following analytic applications are included: SAP analytic Fiori Applications, Smart Business apps, Web Dynpro (Design Studio template in future).

2. Technical System LandscapeThe following system configurations are prerequisite activates before you start the implementation of this configuration guide.

It is possible to get a role-based insight into real-time operations of the business by collecting and displaying key figures directly in the browser through the SAP Analytical apps. To do this, the SAP Analytical apps combine the data and analytical power of SAP HANA with the integration and interface components of SAP Business Suite. With SAP Analytical apps, the customer's company is able to closely monitor their most important KPIs in real time and react immediately on changes in market conditions or operations. The figure below shows the related Analytical Apps based on SAP S/4HANA.

SAP Best Practices


To set up above landscape, we recommend separating the front-end components with the UI layer from the back-end components that contain the business logic and the back-end data.

3. Prerequisite ConfigurationsBefore you start the configuration of technical setup of SAP S/4HANA embedded Analytics, you need to make sure following system configurations are finished.

Please note following configuration is the prerequisite, but not in our configuration scope.

3.1 SAP S/4HANA Fiori Foundation ConfigurationThis section includes the general configuration steps required to set up the system landscape.

Please make sure the following chapters were finished:

Setup of SAP Fiori System Landscape

Please refer to http://help.sap.com/fiori_implementation Configuration Information With SAP NetWeaver 7.5 (English) SAP Fiori: Setup and configuration Setup of SAP Fiori System Landscape.

Configuring SAP Web Dispatcher

SAP Best Practices


3.3 Launchpad ManagementThe non-Fiori apps such as NWBC or Web Dynpro applications use http RFC connections to the respective back-end server and use transaction Overview of Launchpads (transaction code LPD_CUST). Since these are central settings for those types of apps, they are described centrally in this chapter. The described settings are required for NWBC and Web Dynpro applications. As for Fiori apps, you can ignore the configuration in this section.

3.3.1 Creating an HTTP RFC Destination to Back-End Server1. In Front-End Server, access the activity using the following navigation options:

Transaction Code SM59

2. On the Configuration of RFC Connections screen, choose Create.

3. On the RFC Destination screen, input RFC Destination like ERPCLNT180H (H to distinguish from the type 3 RFC dest.), and input Connection Type as H, and then choose Save (Ctrl+S).

4. Choose the Technical Settings tab, input Target Host as your Back-End Server hostname, and input Service No. as its HTTP/HTTPS port.

5. Choose the Logon & Security tab; choose Logon with User as Trust Relationship. If you're using HTTPS port, choose SSL as Active.

6. Choose Connection Test, choose Save if dialog box appears; ensure the Status HTTP Response is 404.

3.3.2 Assignment of http Connection to All Apps in a Fiori Launchpad

UseWithin the SAP S/4HANA delivery in the Overview of Launchpads (transaction code LPD_CUST) a huge number of non Fiori apps is being delivered (i.e. Launchpads for role UIAPFI70 and UICORE). For each single app a dummy record for the http destination is maintained. This section explains how to maintain the destination in a way so you maintain only one setting per Launchpad – and not changing the Launchpad for each single app.

Procedure1. Access the Overview of Launchpads (transaction code LPD_CUST) on your SAP Front

End Server.

2. Choose the Launchpad you want to assign the http connection created in the previous chapter.

3. Choose the System Alias Mapping button:

SAP Best Practices


4. Maintain the http connection to your SAP S/4HANA Backend System you have created in the previous chapter in the upcoming dialog System Alias Mapping in the field New System Alias. See the following example:

ResultAll applications being part of the selected Launchpad use the http connection assigned in the System Alias Mapping.

3.3.3 Assignment of http Connection to a Single App in a Fiori Launchpad

UseBy default, system alias of a NWBC app is set as a pseudo name like SAP_ERP_SD. If the alias does not exist in SM59, the local system will be used. In the previous chapter, it is described how to assign the http connection to all apps in one Launchpad. However, you can change the destination for each single app as well. This is described in the following steps

Procedure1. Access the Overview of Launchpads (transaction code LPD_CUST) on your SAP Front

End Server.

2. On the Overview of Launchpads screen, double click on an entry with NWBC Transactions in it, like UICORE.

3. On the Change Launchpad - XXX screen, double click on a NWBC Transaction app, like Change Sales Order; change System Alias to the RFC destination you created in previous chapter, like ERPCLNT180H, and then choose Save (Ctrl+S).

4. Choose Back (F3) twice. On the Overview of Launchpads screen, ensure your change is made.

ResultYou have now changed the system connection for a single app within a Launchpad.

Technical Configuration → Business Role(s)

SAP_BR_WAREHOUSE_CLERK

Usually a large number of apps need to be configured in an SAP S/4HANA landscape. It is possible to download the required metadata for oData Services and UI Services (ICF Nodes) from the SAP Fiori Reference Library for the usage in the tasklists as described in the following chapters 'Activate OData Service' and 'Activate UI Services'.

The required steps are described here in brief to download those lists:

Access the SAP Fiori apps reference library.

Search for the apps you intend to configure. You can search for example by Product Version. In the displayed result list you can filter for example for 1610 and choose SAP Fiori for SAP S/4 HANA 1610 to get the list of apps for the On Premise version.

Choose the apps in scope either manually or use button Select All at the top of the list.

Choose Aggregate on the bottom of the list to get the aggregated information for your selection.

Scroll down in the Implementation Information screen and expand section Configuration. Then you will be able to find technical details info.

4.1.2 Create and assign the Backend Role for a User

UseThe user needs to have the appropriate authorization in the SAP S/4HANA system to execute his business tasks. The required authorization roles need to be assembled individually by the customer. SAP delivers for each app a Catalog on the front end server. Via an RFC connect you can select the appropriate catalog from the Front End Server and assign it to your business role. The required authorization objects for the oData Services and backend transactions are then being assigned automatically. The new PFCG role needs to be assigned then to the required users.

Procedure1. In the SAP backend system, access the activity using one of the following navigation

options:

© SAP SE of


SAP Best Practices


5.1 Common configuration for all Application

UseThe Fiori Launchpad is the entry page to SAP Fiori apps on mobile or desktop devices. It can be configured via Launchpad Designer. There are important concepts for Launchpad Designer as below:

1. Scope: Launchpad Designer has 3 scopes: Configuration, Customizing, Personalization:

Configuration is system-wide settings. The content delivered by SAP is stored in the configuration scope. Can be accessed via http(s)://<FrontEndServer>:<Port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/arsrvc_upb_admn/main.html?scope=CONF.Changes should be attached to a Workbench Request.

You can access the Launchpad Designer using the following SAP Gui transaction:

Transaction Code /UI2/FLPD_CONF

Customizing is a client-specific setting. Content changes are valid only for the current client.

These settings override the configuration settings, but can be superseded by personalization settings. Can be accessed via http(s)://<FrontEndServer>:<Port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/arsrvc_upb_admn/main.html?sap-client=<Client>(&scope=CUST).This is also the default in case no "scope" parameter provided. Changes should be attached to a Customizing Request.

You can access the Launchpad Designer using the following SAP Gui transaction:

Transaction Code /UI2/FLPD_CUST

Personalization is a user-specific setting; this setting overrides customizing and configuration settings. This functionality is already integrated into Launchpad, so end users can configure Launchpad by themselves.

2. Catalog: Contains both Tiles and Catalogs, SAP pre-delivered Catalogs can usually be mapped to a combination of LoB and archetype, like Catalog of MM Transactional Apps, or Catalog of CRM Fact Sheets.

3. Group: Contains Tiles from Catalogs, more oriented to a business role like Sales Representative or Cost Manager; end users can see Groups in Fiori Launchpad if the role for corresponding Groups is assigned.

4. Tile: Icons in the Launchpad, link to Target Mapping via Intent.

5. Target Mapping: Define Intent and link to LPD_CUST entries.

6. Intent: Semantic Object + Action + Semantic Object parameters.

Semantic Object Represents a business entity such as a customer, a sales order, or a product. Using semantic objects, you can bundle applications that reflect a specific scenario. They allow you to refer to objects in a standardized way, abstracting from concrete implementations of these objects.

You can either use semantic objects shipped by SAP, or create

new semantic objects.

Action Describes which operation (such as display or approvePurchaseOrders) is intended to be performed on a semantic object (such as Purchase Order or Product). The name of the action can be defined arbitrarily.

Semantic Object parameters

Define the instance of the semantic object (e.g. by specifying the employee ID).

7. Intents have the following pattern: #<SemanticObject>-<Action>?<SemanticObjectParameter>=<Value1>, then Fiori Apps can be accessed via Launchpad URL + Intent, for example http(s)://<FrontEndServer>:<Port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html#SalesOrder-change?SalesOrder=27

8. LPD_CUST: Transaction Code in ABAP Front-End Server; contains link to Fiori App's real URL, or NWBC App's transaction code.
